Batalha

I think you will find that often in a fight the last one to speak is the loser.

- Cormac McCarthy, Cities of the Plain

Coisas terríveis

Men do not turn from God so easily you see. No so easily. Deep in each man is the knowledge that something knows of existence. Something knows, and cannot be fled nor hid from. To imagine otherwise is to imagine the unspeakable. It was never that this man ceased to believe in God. No. It was rather that he came to believe terrible things of Him.

- Cormac McCarthy, The Crossing

Life is a memory, then it is nothing.

The Crossing

Ele disse que o lobo é um ser superior e que o homem não. O lobo sabe que não existe ordem no mundo para além daquela que a morte ordena.

A form of constancy

I knew that what I was seeking to discover was a thing I'd always known. That all courage was a form of constancy. That it was always himslef that the coward abandoned first.

Grief

The closest bonds we will ever know are bonds of grief.
